[EDIT] Ninja'd --you found it yourself!
I haven't played much with witches before. So I have a question about how the Extractum Amorus spell normally works. I have a sim, Logan, who casts this spell on another sim, Ethel. They both are in love with each other but Ethel is married to a different sim. Logan wants to break them up so he can marry Ethel. But what happens when he casts the spell is, they slap one another and become enemies and furious with each other, and she is still married to her husband. Did the spell misfire and break up Ethel and Logan? Is this expected behavior or is it possible a mod is messing things up? |
Never used this spell but I would think you have to load up their house and have her break up with him and he moves out.

Leo is the oldest son of the oldest family in the neighborhood though. Logan might have messed with the wrong one; we'll have to see :D

Sounds like it. If by "they" you mean Logan and Ethel start fighting, then yeah, it sounds like it backfired. The spell failed and Ethel, being furious for being spelled, slapped Logan. What the spell should do is remove the marriage flag of the target. I tired it once with Leod McGreggor and Stella Roth... But I remember also using tabula rasa. So it's possible that the spell breaks up any/all romantic relationship(s), but it's been a while, so you'll have to test. Did you go back to Ethel's lot? Is her marriage broken up when you load her and her lot? Then you'll know more about who the spell targets.
Anyway, I had a question of my own: Anyone ever kill a servo/have a servo die? If so, how?
I'm writing up some rules for my Mad Scientist sims and wanted to introduce the chance of a Robot Uprising, but I won't do it if they're basically unkillable. The wikia says they can die of satellites, scissors, and the cowplant, but I don't know how I'd work that into any military strategy (not to mention that the idea of a cowplant eating a robot just seems wrong). I'm hoping they can also die of fire or electrocution. I don't usually play with servos, so I'm hoping someone else has some experience.

Anyways, I restored the lot from backup. Aside from my Sims getting reset, having to fix the day of the week, and that sort of stuff, everything seems to be working fine. HoodChecker came up clean too.

@yavannatw - use the rotate keys (comma/period, or the pointy bracketss) . |
Is that while you're spraying? I tried that and it didn't work. I'll give it another go.

That works for floor tiles, not ground cover I am afraid. Terrain paint is not a *tile* that you can rotate.
@yavannatw You probably have to edit the texture yourself, turn it in your paint program, and make a new terrain paint with it.

Where did you put the translation in the file (in the TXT lists)? Was it in the French section or did you make a translation of the whole career and the file you have is meant to be in French first. Ah - how to explain? @Essa How are you editing the file - directly (thus editing the TXT lists) or using Bidou's career creator plug in? And what language is your game normally installed in? |
@maxon
My game is installed in French.
I didn't use Bidou's career for the editing.
I'm doing it by export the lang file in SimPE (it's named english.txt), then replace the text in English by French using Notepad++, then rename the file french.txt and import it in Simpe. I then fixed typos in SimPE if needed.
Commit and save.
Is this something I should be worried about? Mootilda's HoodChecker didn't pick up anything weird. |
@he.mf.bg
I have those since I recently installed a reduced LTW mod (not Squinge's one).

I think this might be it if I'm understanding you properly. You replaced the English text in the english.txt file but your game is installed in French - correct? The thing is because of your language setting (French) what the game will do is use french.txt not english.txt when you play. To get around this, put the career into English for ALL languages by pressing the Default lang only button (picture) - make sure it's your translation in the window when you do. What this does is use the english.txt version for every language in your installation and wipes the rest.
Although ummmm - maybe your default language is French? oooo I dunno about that because I've never dealt with any other installation than an English one. My advice is to try it but make back ups. You know there's a career chance card tester you can access through Debug Mode?

Yes and I changed the name of the file in french.txt
Default language is French.

I didn't know that. I'll give it a try asap.

There is no need to rename the English.txt to French.txt, just import the English.txt to the French language.

@Chris Hatch
@maxon
I used the career chance card tester and the texts are fine.
My sim got demoted because of a hobby chance card. I didn't even know this could happen. I truly thought it was a career chance card.
Now I just need to found out why I can't build a barn roof.

BO does, as well: http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2988
Which one you use is up to your preference.

I am expecting this to be hugely controversial, mostly because Cyjon claims it can't happen, but I have had a servo die of flies. It was quite a shock.
